There is a consistency in the format of Modigliani's portraits; frontal busts and seated half-lengths predominate by far, and the sitters' gestures are generally unself-conscious and at ease. "Happiness is an angel with a serious face", Modigliani wrote on a postcard to his friend Paul Alexandre. This sentence expresses both the poetic and comtemplative attitude of the artist. |
